Subject:PC Item 4 - Active Transportation Plan
Dear Planning Commission,
I am a board member for Bike SLO County, but my comments here are as a community member. Over the past couple of
years I have spent many hours providing input on the active transportation plan. It has taken a while to get to this point,
and I can say the plan's projects and implementation approach are great! I want to express my thanks to the staff and
the ATC for their time and thoughtful input in its development.
When we zoom out and look at all of our ambitious city wide plans and goals like our General Plan, Climate Action Plan,
the LUCE, DEI, Vision Zero, fiscal responsibility, and economic recovery, you will find that this Active Transportation Plan
really builds on those plans so that they all work really well together. When you are asked whether this plan is in
alignment with all our general plan, other planning documents, policies, and city goals, the answer is a simple yes it is.
I want to express my support for the plan with no major changes. The ATC has created a good list of enhancements, and
maintaining the project tiers and implantation approach are important in its success. It's an ambitious plan that will
really make SLO one of the best US cities to bike and walk in.
Thank you for your consideration.
Garrett Otto
